Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a popular, fully managed database that's become the database of choice for many. These databases typically contain sensitive data, so isolating the database in private VPCs is a pretty typical and wise architecture. But this setup comes at a cost, since it’s isolated, it also makes life harder for human database administrators and engineers who need access. That's where Border0 comes in, offering the perfect combo—an isolated AWS RDS database in a private VPC for that peace-of-mind security while also providing easy access to only those who need it, as if the database was right under their desk. And the best part? No security compromises! It's a win-win!
